Some corporations have started using Snorlax’s as bouncers for private meetings, since they’re basically immovable without their pokeball in hand.

Hydreigon is partially based off on King Ghidorah, whose latest incarnation had two wrathful heads and one (comparatively) chill one. Would be cool to see a regional Hydreigon with two peaceful heads and one out for blood.

Headcanon: N eventually changed his legal name both to stray away from Ghetsis’ legacy and because it’s a hideous fucking name altogether.

Some of the sillier sounding moves, like Mind Blown, Accelerock and Octazooka, do actually have “official” names, but the training community grew so fond of this slang that it basically became the norm.

Tate and Liza aren’t actually full fledged Gym Leaders, only apprentices to the actual one. The reason you fight them in the Hoenn games is that the official leader was off in an errand and left them in charge.

Dragon training is an area filled to the brim with elitism, having been exclusive to wealthy noble houses such as the Blackthorn Clan and the Draconids until recent history. There is still a big conservative movement from said elites against “amateurs” specializing in the dragon type, but Iris...

Torkoal and Coalossal have a protocooperative relationship. Coalossal supplies Torkoal with the coal it needs to remain active, while Torkoal’s Drought ability gives Coalossal an extra protection against its crippling water weakness.

Now imagine having one that can breathe fire, one that shoots lightning and one that can telekinetically control things... all under one roof. This complication would explain why the majority of high leveled trainers used mostly monotyped team, for simplicity’s sake.

There’s a blacklist of pokemon that can’t be used by trainers without a special license due to high threat level or specific husbandry requirements. This prevents things like trainers going bankrupt trying to feed a caught Snorlax or little Timmy borrowing his dad’s Hydreigon to battle his...

I reckon there are different specialization courses to some more complicated types. The amount of data overlap and forgetful accidents would be insane otherwise.

Moves have subcategories that help Pokemon Centers treat pokemon accordingly. For example, a Weezing’s gaseous Toxic will require different treatment than a Muk’s gelatinous one, and a Skuntank’s Flamethrower originated from combusting fumes will work slightly differently from a fire type’s.

Red moved to Mount Silver in an attempt to get away from all the responsibilities his Champion title and his fame as a child prodigy granted him. Overwhelmed by all the attention and all the people coming after him for battles or help, he found that secluding himself was the best way. By the...

The belief in Arceus creationism is a dying religion. Each region has its own cults and versions of how the world came to be, most involving their own local legendaries. However, nearly all of them funnel down to Mew’s influence at some point.

I like to think that the reason some pokemon look so human-like and have human mannerisms is due to the same reason our domestic dogs and cats ended up this way: their ancestors had traits humans appreciated, so intense selective breeding ensued and caused, for example, the average wild...

They actually mention their father at some point.

Silver’s canon starter was actually Chikorita, whose calming powers and playful personality played a key factor in his turn for the better.

The aggressive piano section of Cynthia’s theme is her Garchomp’s way of hyping itself up for the next massacre.

Pokemon can be called out by simply tapping the pokeball button. Throwing is more common due to tradition, but not advised in areas where the ball might be lost on its way down.

The Volcarona Alder uses in battle is the offspring of his original partner that died years ago, who was in turn a descendent of the Volcarona hiding in the temple.

Besides the usual Chansey/Audino, pokecenters commonly use psychic pokemon like Espeon and Gardevoir to help comfort and mediate patients suffering from panic attacks or PTSD.
